Common examples of willful misconduct include: Deliberate violation of employer rules. You can be denied unemployment compensation when fired for deliberately violating a company rule. Failure to follow an employer's instructions. Absenteeism/ Tardiness. Failing to meet normal standards of behavior.
You probably won't be able to get Unemployment if you quit for personal reasons or because you did not like your job. You might not be able to get Unemployment if your boss says you were fired for “misconduct.” Misconduct can be things like poor attendance and being late.
The term "misconduct" is not defined in the statute. However, the Court of Appeals in Matter of James(34 NY 2d 491; A-750-1775) has indicated that "misconduct" is any volitional act or omission which is detrimental to an employer's interests.
How to Beat Unemployment Claims Get prepared. The single biggest mistake employers make is in their preparation. Keep to the issues. When proving misconduct, focus on specific policies that the employee violated. Only focus on what you can prove. Consider getting expert help.
One of the most common questions we receive is, “What is the difference between misconduct and poor job performance?” In basic terms, misconduct is a behavior issue, and poor job performance is a competence issue. Sometimes these situations are very easy for the employer to differentiate.
To win an appeal, you'd have to put together a 'case' showing why you qualify, why the employer's arguments are inaccurate, and why all the details prove you right.
You are not eligible for unemployment benefits if you are discharged (fired) for misconduct or gross misconduct connected with the work. "Misconduct" is defined as a violation of a duty or obligation reasonably owed the employer as a condition of employment.
